[Preview] Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade: Free to Be Cool

in News & Features Discussion

Hey guys, I am writing this one from a hotel room in L.A., after having just sat in on the E3 Eternal Crusade roundtable presentation. The biggest piece of news was the announcement that Behaviour is pushing back the release of the Founders Program to the 25th of June. While disappointing, the pushback was necessary in order to allow the implementation of all the neat things that Behaviour wanted to get into the Founders Program.

    Games like this really make me shudder.  You always end up spending a fortune in the store.

    Please cover Elite: Dangerous at E3 - this is the game I'm most interested in by a very long way.

    Sure it wasn't a Razorback they were deployed in? Predators are main battle tanks, and don't carry troops. Not unless they were sat on top.

    That really is an interesting way to run a beta. Makes a little less like a beta and more like a pre-introduction story. I will be interested to see how it plays out.

    Looking forward to playing this but cautiously.  Wouldn't be the first time someone made a mediocre game and threw the warhammer 40k name on it unfortunately.

    Not really, the ones I play I can usually have everything by playing the game, of course this is not true for all f2p out there.

    Great article. Happy to hear about the faction specific weapons and war gear! Can't wait to get into the practice cages and onto the firing range.

    For the Lion! For the xDAx!

    nice example of storyline (which looks extremely linear.. )

    i hope they wont run a beta based on the preorders, and they will have and a normal beta.. Otherwise it will be a failed beta running by fanboyz :p

    i believe its a fair b2p model with a few f2p options, not bad .

    Boy, you are just a ray of sunshine in every thread.  I believe you may want to take a break from gaming.  You seem too jaded to take anything you say seriously.

    This was rather unexpected, why so salty? I'm a big warhammer fan who is tired of bad warhammer games there's nothing wrong or jaded with that.

    So is this game going to be Play-2-win. From what I been reading on here and trying to understand what the devs said that it is going to be P2W style, which is going to suck if they go that route .
  • Solar_ProphetSolar_Prophet Member EpicPosts: 1,960

    I'll never understand why, aside from the games made by Relic, the WH40K universe can't seem to be utilized properly by developers. There's an incredible amount of material available, yet most of the time we get half-assed crap like Storm of Vengeance.

    I hope Eternal Crusade isn't one of those. So far it looks good, but then again Warhammer Online looked good as well, so we'll see.

    If dey screwz up da game, we's gunna send da boyz on a WAAAGH! ta set 'em straight!

     

    AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

    We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

    Yeah, Storm of Vengeance wasn't the greatest w40k game I've seen. As for your question, I've seen people discuss it before and the general idea is that companies are at too much liberty to stretch the w40k lore and rules and make into a creation of their own. They are too eager to stand out, and thus they botch the production of the game. People have suggested bringing some GW employees for certain game projects to go monitor and make sure everything is going smoothly, but that already happens anyway.
